Communicate directly with the EFC
The EFC would like to hear from faculty about any issue relating to our professional life at USC. The link below will take you to a form where you may enter any comments or concerns. Submissions are forwarded to the EFC anonymously. The EFC will routinely gather the comments together, discuss them and determine what if any action should be taken. This is a way to communicate with your fellow faculty and with the Viterbi administration.
